Inaugural poem from the Last Lady [Jennifer Michael Hecht]

Change is hi-larlious. Everyone wants it, no one wants to do it. Stroll with me into Plato's cave? Rather not? Well, here we go anyway. Comfy, right? Easy for the eyes, nice temp. Hard to leave. You see my point. Change, the only thing and the everything, the "interesting" in the curse "may you live in interesting times" is change, and change is intrusion. I can almost feel my toes again. Is this being unfroze? I'm excited about the president. I'm also a little turned on. The man is so so so handsome. And that was no lady, that was the First lady! Love the matching green shoes and gloves. Love. Does anyone want to know what the Last Lady was wearing for the inauguration? Pajamas. This is from her, ahem, my first poetry book The Next Ancient World.

Rumination on change? Notes to myself? Incantation expiation for a cybernation up from out of hibernation? Maybe, but not three times fast. xoxjmh
